GRAVURE PRINTED PACKAGING

At present, gravure printing technology is widely utilized in the packaging industry. This printing technique allows printing on various types of materials and composite laminations, delivering visually appealing packaging products that effectively capture customers’ attention. Discover more about gravure printing for packaging in the following article!

1. What makes gravure printing distinctive?

Gravure printing (also known as intaglio printing or cylinder printing) is a technique that can be applied to most materials, producing vibrant, high-definition images.

By applying advanced color separation technology, each design file is precisely divided into corresponding engraved cylinders, ensuring the finished printed colors closely match the original design.

2. Why choose gravure printing for packaging?

Gravure printing is extensively adopted in the current packaging market thanks to its outstanding advantages:

• High printing accuracy: Details are engraved directly onto the cylinders, ensuring crisp and precise image reproduction. The print quality remains uniform and stable regardless of print volume.
  

• Capability for multicolor printing: Gravure technology allows printing with 1–10 colors, layered and blended directly on the packaging film — a result that other methods such as screen printing cannot achieve.
  

• Long cylinder lifespan: Cylinders are made from steel and coated with copper, ensuring durability. They can be reused multiple times, with a lifespan of approximately 5–7 years under continuous operation.
  

• High printing speed: Modern gravure printers can achieve speeds exceeding 200 meters per minute, enabling efficient production timelines and prompt delivery to clients.

3. Types of packaging utilizing gravure printing

Gravure printed packaging is now widely used across manufacturing sectors, including:

• Food packaging
  

• Frozen food packaging
  

• Cosmetic and household chemical packaging
  

• Agricultural packaging
  

• Agro-product packaging
  

• Confectionery packaging
  

• Beverage packaging
  

• Other packaging: fishing bait, pet food, face masks, pharmaceutical products, traditional medicine pouches, etc.

Packaging forms are diverse — from film rolls to finished pouches with various functional features such as zipper closures, easy-tear notches, ventilation holes, handles, plastic clips, one-way air valves, and spouts for liquid filling — meeting the evolving needs of consumers.
